Programs are on a DROP-IN basis, but they require registration at your primary location(s) to ensure we can take attendance on the days you join that specific location! Be sure to check in with the facilitator as soon as you arrive at the StrongStart BC program – they can assist with this process and answer any questions you might have. You will receive a package of information, including the registration form, from the StrongStart Facilitator. If you complete the registration forms at home, the completed documentation should be given directly to the StrongStart Facilitator as they will complete the remainder of the processes with you and your documentation in-person. Please do not send forms electronically to the facilitators or to our Central Registration department.

Why should you register?
By going through the registration
process, your child is officially entered into the StrongStart BC
database so that attendance can be recorded. By having as many children
as possible registered, the Ministry of Education develops an accurate
picture of how many children are attending the StrongStart BC program.
The Ministry of Education and Child Care extracts attendance numbers
from each StrongStart BC centre. They are only interested in collecting
numbers, not personal information regarding your child.
The Ministry of Education will assign your child a Personal
Education Number (PEN#). This number follows the child throughout their
education in British Columbia.
Additional information
If the child is a Canadian citizen, but
the Birth Certificate is from another country, we need a copy of the
Citizenship papers.
If the family is in Canada on a Work Permit, we need a copy of it attached to the registration.
If the child is a Permanent Resident, then we need a copy of both sides of the Permanent Resident card.
Please bring the original documents. We will take photocopies of these documents and return them to you.
